Embark on a journey to the archaeological marvel of Delphi, home to the Temple of Apollo, often revered in ancient Greece as ‘the world’s navel.’ Also, take time to marvel at the awe-inspiring Meteora grey rock formations, topped with monasteries that have been acknowledged by UNESCO for their significance.
We will pick you up from select spots in Athens (departure at approx 8:45) and drive through the fertile plain of Beotia, crossing the towns of Thebes, Levadia, and Arachova before arriving in Delphi, the 'navel of the world' according to ancient Greeks. There you will visit the archaeological site of the oracle and depart for Kalambaka, passing through picturesque villages of Central Greece.
Visit Meteora, a geological marvel of vast, rock pillars rising up from the valley to create a unique spectacle that is a testament to the wonders of nature. On top of the pillars, stand Byzantine Monasteries, of immeasurable historical and religious importance.
Afterwards you will make your way back via Trikala, Lamia, and Thermopylae (where a short stop to see Leonidas' Monument across the road is in order) and finally arrive at Athens early in the evening (approx. 19:00).
This tour includes a complimentary pick-up/drop-off service from your hotel or other predefined spots in Athens and surrounding areas. The maximum duration of this service to gather tour participants is approximately 1 hour. Thus, pick-up time may vary for each guest and will be promptly provided by your personal agent.
Appropriate clothing is required to visit the Monasteries. Long skirts below the knees for the ladies and long trousers for the gentlemen.
